Days Gone vs Mechs and Mercs: Black Talons

Days Gone is an action-adventure survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon. Players control Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter fighting to survive against hordes of Freakers, the zombie-like creatures that have devastated the world. The game features a vast open world to explore, a variety of missions and side quests, and a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that affects gameplay.

In a fractured galaxy after the Gark war, you command the elite mercenary unit Black Talons aboard the battlecruiser Paladin. Fight for the Noctae Republic on the agriworld Genai, manage persistent squads, and shape the balance of power across multiple worlds. The game offers deep customization—from mech load‑outs to a fully upgradeable battlecruiser base—while your decisions affect faction relations and the overall campaign outcome.
